A 55-year-old father feels he missed bonding opportunities with his 7-year-old and struggles with social skills after years of academic focus. He faced a social awkward moment with a celebrity before and was advised by his wife to avoid interacting with another celebrity family. His concern about appearing rude after sending a holiday greeting that went unanswered is causing anxiety. Dear Abby reassures him that a lack of response does not reflect personal rejection and encourages him to treat celebrities with the same friendliness as neighbors, while reminding him not to overthink his interactions.
Celebrities often receive greetings from fans they don't know. Because you didn't receive a response to yours, it is possible the celebrity didn't see it, or was too inundated to answer.
In the future, remember that celebrities are usually just like the rest of us, albeit better known. When you encounter one, remain calm. Smile and say hello just as you would the couple who live across the street.
